I propose to take Questions Nos. 4 to 7, inclusive, together.
I sit on the following Cabinet Committees: European affairs; climate change and energy security; science, technology and innovation; social inclusion, children and integration; health; Irish and the Gaeltacht; economic renewal; and transforming public services.
The necessity for and the roles and working methods of Cabinet committees are kept under review. Their primary function is to allow for engagement by Ministers with important policy issues of cross-departmental significance. They are supplementary to the engagement with these issues by the Government as a whole. Significant policy issues in all of these areas are matters for decision by the Government in accordance with the Cabinet handbook.
For the information of Deputies, the table lists all Cabinet committees and their membership following the recent changes of Ministers and Ministers of State.
